	SCENE 1	Peering from over his cape, The Count makes a dramatic entrance to count people who say hello: Maria, David, Luis and Big Bird. At the climax, the four of them cower from the Count's thunder and lightning.
	Muppets	Old West: Sinister Sam comes to the saloon, looking for Doc Holiday. He questions the frightened townspeople, looking for the doctor, but all he can find is a mailman and a fire fighter. Sam says they'd better find the doctor, because he's got an itchy trigger finger. The doctor is found, cowering under a table. The doctor asks what Sam wants with him, and the mean hombre says that his finger is really itchy -- it's driving him crazy. Is it a mosquito bite? Should he use some lotion on it? Doc Holliday faints. Sam shrugs, and joins the other patrons at the bar for some milk. (First: Episode 0318)

	SCENE 2	Maria, Luis, and David observe that Oscar has built a hat rack that is sitting outside his can, but the wooden pegs that are supposed to hold the hats are angled down instead of up. Oscar is well-aware of this, and gives the three of them some hats so they can pretend to be visitors. They each go to hang up their hats, which of course slide off the pegs. Oscar is delighted, because now the people who can't hang their hats will have to leave.

Big Bird spots Mr. Snuffleupagus coming out of his nest area, and quickly pushes David under the counter “for his own good” until Snuffy passes by.
